1. Sa- vior of the na- tions, come; Vir- gin's Son, here make Thy home! Mar- vel now, O heav'n and earth, That the Lord chose such a birth.
 
2. Not by hu- man flesh and blood; By the Spi- rit of our God Was the Word of God made flesh, Wo- man's off- spring, pure and fresh.
 
3. Won- drous birth! O won- drous Child Of the vir- gin un- de- filed! Though by all the world dis- owned, Still to be in hea- ven en- throned.
 
4. From the Fa- ther forth He came And re- turn- eth to the same, Cap- tive lead- ing death and hell High the song of tri- umph swell!
 
5. Thou, the Fa- ther's on- ly Son, Hast o'er sin the vic- t'ry won. Bound- less shall Thy king- dom be; When shall we its glo- ries see?
